Salvia ID Please

I hope I didn't already ask about these and forget to then label them?

Seed that I bought that year (which should be what these plants are from)

Salvia gesneraeflora 'Tequila'

"One of the parents to the Purple Majesty Sage, Salvia gesneraeflora is the one that contributes to the large flowers of its offspring. The highly desirable Tequila cultivar is especially attractive with huge, vivid red, softly hairy flowers and dark black calyx. It is a very valuable, multi-branched perennial that blooms from mid winter through late spring, feeding the hungry hummingbirds at a time when few plants are flowering. Exotic and spectacular in full bloom too. Fresh spring-green, heart-shaped leaves. 10 feet tall, 8 feet wide. Full sun to part shade. Rich, well-drained soil. Regular watering. Hardy from zone 9 onwards. Usually available only in plants or cuttings forms. "

Sadly I don't remember seeing that blue/black calyx, nor is it 10' tall :( I might try that one again though, sounds amazing!

Salvia microphylla 'Red Flowers Green Calyx'

I think this is more promising. "If you love Autumn Sages (Salvia greggii) but want a plant that is also tolerant of shade, try this rarely offered one. A woody perennial shrub, Salvia microphylla has tiny, triangular, margined, black-currant scented leaves and flowers that are similar in shape to those of S. greggii. This particular cultivar has fire engine-red flowers contrasted by green calyx. In bloom, it is attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Hardy from zone 7 onwards. 3 feet tall, 4 feet wide. Full sun to half-day of sun, and any well-drained garden soils. Drought tolerant when established, can take extreme sun and heat. Also tolerant of regular water on a weekly basis if you want to interplant this with other plants that need more water."

Salvia elegans

"Here's yet another beautiful and impressive sage that all Salvia lovers should not do without. A showstopper starting from late fall through winter. Then, the precious, velvety, ruby-red, tubular flowers of Salvia elegans are smothered with hummingbirds and butterflies. Year round, passerbys will be seeking opportunites to 'accidentally brush' against the tender, serrated leaves which exude the refreshing smell of pineapples when bruised! :-) Hardy from zone 8 onwards. 4 feet tall, 3 feet wide. Full sun, and any well-drained garden soils.Usually available as plants or cuttings. Hard-to-find"

Salvia coccinea- can't find that, currently, in eCrater's site

I also bought seed, that year, of:
Salvia forsskaolii
Salvia hians
Salvia microphylla (baby sage) (from RHS Seed distribution)

 

I don't think it will be S elegans or coccinea as it is too pink, not red. Nor S forskawotsit, as I think that's a rosette one. Gut instinct tells me S hians is blue.

So my money's on S microphylla.

 

No.2 is S.microphylla - rampant and very floriferous!

As far as no.1 goes, my money is on S.greggii being involved in it somewhere.
